Mexican-American Studies

I used this book for my Mexican-American Studies class back in '07. A lot of information. It helped me understand a lot of social issues between mexican americans, mexican natives, and anglo americans that I was never taught about in grammar school. Recommendable for anyone who is interested in the history of Mexican American's.

A text book that doesn't read like stereo instructions.

While taking an Anthropology class covering Mexican Americans we were asked to purchase this book along with another text book. I found Mexican Americans/American Mexicans to be a good book, with lots of useful and interesting information without being dry (like most text books).

Excellent Basic Survey of Mexican American History

I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to expand their basic knowledge concerning the critical role Mexican Americans have played in American history. I not only recommend this work to others, but also use it as a text in the internet based Mexican American history course I offer.
